How Do I Declare a Concentration?

  • To declare a concentration complete the "Declaration or Change of Degree Objective" form.  Forms are available at most academic departments, including the Liberal Studies Department and the Enrollment Services Office.  Form is on triplicate form (NCR) so it is not available online.

  • Return your completed form to the Liberal Studies Department for the necessary signatures and processing.

  • The Liberal Studies Department will forward your form to Enrollment Services for processing.  A copy of your file will be generated at that time (by Enrollment Services) and sent to your "new" concentration department.  

If you are changing your major to something other than Liberal Studies, complete the "Declaration or Change of Degree Objective" form and return it to the Liberal Studies Department.

  •  Liberal Studies will forward your form along with your file to the department of your choice.  Students are not allowed to hand carry their files to other departments.  Please allow 1-2 weeks for processing.
